👍👍👍 Good hunt Mike. Dual mode is briliant once get used to, also it has got great use on areas where you can’t swing normally - forests, bushes, rocks etc. Once Threshold is maxed in that conditions, you can have coil raised and picking up signals from non-motion as „stop” signs and then reviewing the signal closer to surface. Or more extreme use - when you are looking for big objects or very deep - coil raised above the knees will help you to get signals only from big/deep objects like chests, helmets and other large targets. All the best and happy hunting 👍
Nice iff, carnt wait to get out with it your settings working well. Brilliant on dual mode how you can mess with sensitivity of all metal , great features not seen on many machines . I believe the vortex can match all these detectors performance , with less settings. No idea how that is possible, but I’m sure we will find out 😉
A very nice hunt. I have been having similar success even in mineralized red dirt. The Hot Rock setting moved to positive really helps bring targets out. The smaller DD23 is certainly excellent. The larger DD28 gives almost as good separation & unmasking and noticeably better raw depth. Reaction speed can be lowered to 3 or even 2 and the Versa is still faster than you can swing. It is very deep at Reaction 2&1. Dual mode is great, the only SMF machine that has it. Keep the Versa videos coming.
Hi, regarding coil DD28, I have buried small coins in my yard. One of them, at 7cm (approximately 2.7 inches), is typically used for tests with rusted nails. In the Park program, the nail masks the coin from 19cm, but with the XP Deus 2 and FMF9" on the 3rd program (sensitive), it does not detect the coin until 17cm. So, in my opinion, Versa and the new software are really good.
Looks like a great improvement Mike and nice to see the dual mode demoed, I've not played with it much yet. Found a Roman last time out with the 2.44 so really looking forward to trying out the 3.7 tomorrow.
That almost looks like the Sure Grip on the Rutus Versa handle (that we had on my Equinox 600/800). That Versa firmware has come a long way since you and Calabash first tested it!
I can see your 900 sitting in the corner pouting from here because you found a new friend to play with. Might want to take it out to a relic site to make it feel wanted. How does the depth on the Rutus compare to the 900? From your testing it looks like it's unmasking is probably better than the 900. I think Rutus is going to have to contemplate selling here in the US after your videos as I'm sure this is going to dramatically increase interest in this unit.
cheers mate! Cool finds, and great adventure.. Wish u all the best in future hunt! Cheers from new friends and subscribers from southern Europe! Happy hunting!!
The dual mode is very interesting. As a pure relic hunter I'm curious how this machine stacks up to the Deus 2? I have a Manticore and Legend as well but neither are my go to in heavy iron.
Hi, why do you not tighten the coil cable to the shaft? I use rubber clips near the coil to avoid damaging the connection, and I secure it tightly to the shaft to avoid signals from a loose cable in mixed mode. By the way, I do not understand why other detector manufacturers don't offer this feature as an option to choose from. For me, it's like using a metal detector with one eye still closed. Without mixed mode, we lose important information. I use the D2 too, and it's a really good detector, but for me, it's not perfect because it does not have mixed mode. Moreover, while the VERSA appears lighter, it's actually heavier by 0.5kg than the D2.
La modalita Dual e veramente la ricerca piu bella che si possa provare cercare oggetti piccoli e grandi profondi e superficiali nello stesso tempo e favoloso .... Rutus a fatto jackpot a introdurre nuovamente questa tecnologia ...❤❤
@@fabiocenti1367my regular sensitivity i use whatever i can 20 ish, for the dual mode sensitivity i leave at 10, threshold volume with headphones on 3-5.
Curiosita Iffy i vostri terreni che GB danno ? I miei sono sempre - 70 78 quindi uso sempre multy w 👍il.problema viene dal bestiame cavalli mucche che rendono salino il terreno che non e mineralizzato .. solo multy w lavora bene
Mine is pretty neutral, i have been using Multi Low and working great. I know on 2.44 W was used by some people for the same reason. I do not have experience with 2.44 but 3.7 is working fine. I have not had a need to use W here in the states.
